The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.

Write to Fight Cancer: A Writing Workshop


Research has shown that expressive writing can be a meaningful tool for coping with cancer and may improve mental and physical quality of life.  David Tabatsky, co-author Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Cancer Book, will help participants transform their thoughts and feelings into words and stories.  This free, interactive workshop for people affected by cancer (survivors, family, and friends) will feature expert advice, writing exercises and discussion.
